6 grams of protein + 3 grams fiber per quarter-cup serving Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a grain-like seed that becomes light and fluffy, with a chewy texture, when cooked. From a spinach-like plant (Chenopodium quinoa) native to South America, these tiny seedsas well as the plant’s leaveshave been used as a food source since ancient times. Quinoa is known for its remarkable nutritional value, including its fiber and protein content. How to cook Simply combine 1 cup of seeds with 2 cups of water and boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until water is absorbed.
